SNUFF Tour Dates - Updated With Phone Numbers & Signing Instructions

Updated With Phone Numbers & Signing Instructions!

I contacted Chuck's publicist this weekend about ticket info, and he got back to me with not only phone numbers (below) you should each call for event info, but also specific instructions on how the signing is going to work at each store. I'll begin with that.

All books will be pre-autographed.

Only the first 150 people at each venue will be able to have their books personalized.

No memorabilia whatsoever.

Chuck will personalize up two backlist titles in addition to copies of SNUFF for each of the 150 ticket/bracelet holders.

Contact the event bookstore for details regarding personalization.

Chuck will not be personalizing books in New York and Denver.

Here are the updated SNUFF tour dates with phone numbers!:(please call the stores if you have any questions about possible Ticket info)(please note if the event is Offsite from the main bookstore)

Umm, did anyone notice that Amy Hempel will be interviewing Chuck in NY? Wow.

Important Details About How Chuck Will Sign Books This Time

According to Todd Doughty, Chuck’s very awesome publicist at Doubleday, here is how Chuck will be handling signing books and meeting fans this year:Yes, we’re changing the signings a bit this year. First of all, fellow Doubleday author Donald Ray Pollock, author of KNOCKEMSTIFF, will appear with Chuck in Ann Arbor, Minneapolis and St. Louis. Second, Chuck will be interviewed on-stage at each event regarding not only SNUFF, but also his entire career. He’ll also be reading and it looks like we’ll have a trailer of CHOKE to show as well. This will all be followed by audience Q&A and there will be prizes galore, as usual.

In terms of the signing, here’s the lowdown: Chuck will pre-autograph all copies of SNUFF before the tour at the Random House warehouse. These signed copies of SNUFF will be on sale at each of his events. However, only the first 150 people in each city will have the chance to meet Chuck as well as have their copies of SNUFF personalized. Tickets or wristbands will be given out by each store to the first 150 people. More details to come…since I don’t know how each venue is going to handle passing out the tickets/wristbands. Also, both the NYC and Denver stores have asked that Chuck not personalize – signed books will be for sale though.

So if there's no personalizing in Denver (where he hasn't come since... Lullaby? Or Diary, maybe. A long time, and I've never been able to go when he's here) does that mean that we won't be able to meet him, or take pictures with him or anything? I tend to say stupid things when I meet people I really admire, so I guess that's fine. But I'd still like to.

I'm gonna go to the Union Square one in a wedding dress again. Beaten up, choking on steak, and talking to my imaginary religious cult friend. After my sex change, of course. AND THEN we can all have an ORGY! Woo-hoo!

We’ve had to rotate the cities on his tour – he hasn’t been to some of these places in 4-5 years and we needed to re-visit to thank the fans and booksellers. We hope to add LA and Portland on next year’s tour."

WTF?! That's it! I'm switching over to Dan Brown. Screw those other cities! I'll never read Palahniuk again! It's all Suglia, all the time now! Ooooooh you've made a bitter enemy today! And you've earned Danielle Steele and Ethan Hawke a new devoted reader. How dare you sir! How DARE you! Wait, Where am I?

Ehh...yeah a little disappointed there's no Boston or Maine or anywhere closer to NH but this will give me a reason to do an NY trip that week.

I'm crossing my fingers for some international dates, more specifically canadia, more specifically, montreal. Either way, I'll flee to NY for a few days. After the huge event that was the Rant tour, I can understand a more relaxed go around this time.

oh, yeah.. isnt the word that chuck's doing a double tour this year, one for snuff and the other for the softcover of rant. i know chuck wants to go back to places he hasnt been in years, but he'll probably hit the norm spots on the second round. i wouldnt put money on it, but i think it is probably a fair bet. besides, havent you seen him like four times now ? =)

I e-mailed BORDER'S about the Ann Arbor date - planning on leaving at noon for a five hour drive and the event at seven. Well, this is what she said:

"Please contact the store one week before the event for complete details. At this time we do know that the event will be a wrist-band entrence [sic] event. Meaning, upon purchase of the book (or proof of previous purchase of the book) the DAY OF, you will be issued a wristband for enterence. I believe they will be liimited to 150 people. WE open at 9:00 am."

I find this a little inconvenient. She seems to expect me to get there at 9 or risk chance of not being one of 150. I thought the way I read the announcement the bracelets were just for the signing? This will be my first book tour, but the logistics of it seem to SUCK!

Ummm...any word on where this became the word? I know it was mentioned as a possibility way before the Snuff dates were posted, but I'd be surprised for him to do a larger tour for a paperback the he toured everywhere with in hardcover to go easy on a new hardcover release. But a Rant PBack tour would be nice...for us, the mob of fans.

I got a question..."No memorabilia whatsoever" - Does that mean don't try to bring memorabilia for signing, or don't bring any memorabilia with you? I imagine it just means don't bring it looking for it to be signed, but that's a strange way of wording it. I'll call the NY place tomorrow or Wednesday.

150 is a big number...I know last year he let people in who showed up early and signed and met with them. I'm thinking now he may take the personalizations of the first 150 ppl rather than meet, cause that takes way longer. Chuck's problem is he's too nice, and here's why (I don't blame him, and I'm glad he's so cool) but last year, people were bringing stacks of books to all have personalized. My friends and I were second on line, and this girl who was maybe 15th had all of his books, and asked for a personalization of each. He wasn't going to turn her down, but it really was inconsiderate, and meant that the event was delayed a little while so he could finish up her stuff. Because he isn't going to say 'no' to someone with 10 books, it's probably for the best that people aren't given the opportunity to do that - the idea of he'll sign your book, but only two books back sounds like a great idea, though one I don't see getting heavily enforced. I'm going to show up mad early in NY, and if I get to see him before the show that'd be great, but I'm not expecting anything out of him, he doesn't owe me anything. I have a gift I'll give him if I get the chance, and if possible I'll get a pic.

My advice would be to show up as early as possible and see what happens. If you go in not expecting much, you'll definitely be happy with what you get...and Chuck usually delivers ;)
